I stick to coffee with pure refined white sugar. I take down 3 - 4 large mugs a day. I drink the occasional pop (I'm not sure what soda is), almost always regular. Diet Coke tastes reminiscent of floor cleaner.

Most enterprises still use tape. It's especially useful for offsite storage.

What application did you use to see the memory usage? Is it something built into OpenFiler or is it a freely available FOSS application?

... There's your problem.

Why would it matter if it is an entry level position or not? Maybe managers, directors, VPs, and C-level people don't need any kind of logical reasoning skills?

Wikipedia's RAID article has a nice concise overview of RAID levels.

I've had more than that, but I did work 12 hours yesterday.

I also ordered Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Licensed for 3 PCs. Seems like a decent deal for 3 "licenses." I personally use OO.o at home, but my parents will be more comfortable with Office (except that stupid ribbon).

They wanted me to get something in the next week. Not really, but if a 15.6" model could really get 12 hours that would be nice. I hope the Lenovo I ordered doesn't have a glossy screen, those things are terrible in just about all light conditions. Most of the Asus notebooks I have seen have...

Is there anywhere else to get them that cheap?

Thanks all for your input, I ordered 2 ThinkPad SL Series SL510.

My friend recently got the Asus UL30Vt-X1, which has the dual graphics. He says it gets ~5 hours of battery life. It is rated to get 12 hours. So, it looks like the Asus gets slightly better battery life, but it's not 2.5x as the specs say, and the difference may be even smaller with a 15.6"...

I don't have a Pre, but from what I've heard the way it handles and integrates your contact lists from multiple services is supposed to be pretty nice.

This doesn't help your current situation, but maybe it's time to ask to hire an assistant?

I'm aware that they are exaggerated. I'm just not sure how much depending on manufacturer. Would you rather have a Lenovo that gets a supposed 4 hour or a Asus that gets a supposed 12 hours?

I would rather get a Windows 7 unit. I was also looking at 14" screens to get a smaller unit, especially because the resolution is the same between the 14" and the 15.6". Though, the 15.6" might be easier for them to use since they aren't young (my Dad is almost 73). These will mostly be used...

I doubt you would make much with ads. Just ask for donations, most regulars here would have no problem donating to pay your hosting cost.

I'm going to be ordering two notebooks for my parents. I recommended something in the "large netbook" size, but my Mom prefers a larger screen, so I'm looking at 14" displays. It appears that most notebooks these days have a screen resolution of 1366x768 with screen size between 13.3" - 15.6". I...

Shouldn't the goal be to lower the noise level enough that the signal level approaches infinity? I took Udaman off ban so I could moderate his posts if he decided to post inappropriate images or links again without mentioning NSFW.

I mentioned Solaris Zones above, is anyone else using Operating system-level virtualization? The Wikipedia article explains some of the advantages/disadvantages pretty well. But, if the point of your specific virtualization project is to have separate hosts rather than highly portable or highly...

If you do this by unplugging your modem (cable or DSL), make sure to leave it unplugged for several minutes or you may end up with the same IP as before.

I agree with this sentiment. Or you could just ban him for unprofessional conduct.

I use VirtualBox on my Linux machine to run Windows XP and Windows 7. TurboTax doesn't offer a Linux version, so I used the virtual to file my tax return. I haven't really used it for anything else. We use VMWare ESX and ESXi servers extensively at work to run virtualized Windows and Linux...

Uda, do you ever post anything on topic? Or are you just a perpetual troll?

I replaced a battery on an iPod Mini a few years back. It took quite a while and I damaged the external case while doing it (it was still usable, just banged up). I won't be buying any more Apple products again.

That's like arguing whether the OK or the Cancel button goes on the left on an confirmation dialog. No one will ever win.

Will it have wings?

I like Sol's approach of asking questions that require the interviewee to think rather than regurgitate facts. Asking questions like, what would you do to diagnose a problem in a specific scenario or how would develop a plan if someone gave you X to get done in X weeks. Now, walk me through that...

I thought OSI stood for Open Source Initiative or Office of Strategic Influence. Wikipedia seems to think it can stand for a number of things as well.

Can I guess?

I have an entire drive that is encrypted with TrueCrypt. It has worked well for me.

I have standard Comcast cable and I get about 12Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up. Does that $150 include your TV as well?

Will you get credited for all the time when you were paying for service you weren't getting?

I use a full keyboard and mouse for my HTPC.

By the time you're finished learning you will have a state of the art data center in your apartment. Then, all you'll need is fat pipe and you'll be set.

Are you still going to try to run OpenSolaris, seems like more trouble than it's worth to me. You could also check out Nexenta. OpenSolaris kernel with a GNU userland. I know someone that bought a Lenovo S10, it's decent, but I don't think I could stand the 1024x600 resolution for more than...

I use Opera for certain things on my Linux box, mainly for it's superior password manager. Firefox on Fedora is terribly slow (page rendering), so I almost never use it. Mostly, I use Chrome, though, I miss Tab Mix Plus, which I use to highly customize the tab behavior in Firefox.

It's more complicated than that. If you open 10 tabs that are all pointing at the same domain then more than likely that will all be contained in one process, but not always. If you open up the Chrome task manager and click "stats for nerds," you can see which tabs are a part of which process.

Take a look at this Linux Distro cladogram (about 3/4 of the way down). It's parent is Specifix, it's not connected with Red Hat at all. SVG available as well.

I don't think rPath is based on Red Hat. See also.

How about a picture with the cover on next? Also, can you fit inside should the unforeseen occur?

This is what I remember as well.

Is there a cover, or are all the components exposed at all times?

You might take a look this Ubuntu compatibility list, might have some worthwhile info. You might also have better luck running a Linux distro rather than OpenSolaris.

Sounds similar to the Bloom Box.

The free ones usually don't work on Server OS's. I've had the same problem in the past.

It's actually the only time many of these events are even available for watching. I watch Alpine skiing when it's on at non-Olympic times also. I don't like figure skating, I'm only watching that because of my fiance.

I have watched the Olympics every day but one since they started. I hate NBC's coverage. They don't explain anything (how many people watching curling know how the scoring works?). Too many human interest stories. Commercial breaks during competition. Their website it also useless.

The whole bottle or part of it?
